Manly Sea Eagles vs Dolphins Preview

Manly’s finals hopes are under severe pressure after five consecutive defeats, including a 42-20 loss to Melbourne, and its defensive decline presents a serious problem against the Dolphins. The visitors have won three straight and effectively secured their first finals appearance by recovering from 24-0 down to beat Brisbane 40-32. Clayton Faulalo returns at fullback for the Sea Eagles, allowing Lehi Hopoate to shift to the wing, but Tom Trbojevic remains unavailable and Taniela Paseka is out with a knee injury. The Dolphins lose Kurt Donoghoe to a thumb problem, though Ray Stone and Jake Averillo bolster the interchange. Manly won the Round 5 meeting 52-18, but the teams’ current trajectories make the Dolphins’ speed and finishing power especially difficult to contain.
